ocean jewelry

Inspired by the traditional jewellery worn by the Krobo civilization in Ghana, artisan Robert Aidoo-Taylor handweaves this set of three bracelets of oceanic allure. The accessories—in a blue palette—are made from polypropylene cords for a sturdy design, which is also completed by an adjustable sliding knot.

Blue is the star colour of a splendid gift set from Thailand curated with care by the NOVICA team. The delicate infinity scarf is expertly hand-woven from lightweight cotton with ocean-inspired colours that will have you thinking of beach escapes no matter the weather. Pair it with the exquisite dangle earrings shaped like an elongated leaf, each meticulously fashioned using the esteemed art of hand-blown glass with alluring blue pigments hand-painted onto the clear glass and complemented by elegant swirl patterns in a soft white shade, suspending gracefully from polished sterling silver hooks. Keep the earrings and other precious jewellery in a stunning catchall handcrafted using celadon ceramic, taking the form of a lotus leaf and adorned with a lovely dragonfly accent.

Zigzag accents capture the magnificence of the Costa Rican ocean through intense colours and stylish details. Danicxia Castillo works with waxed cords in blue and brown hues to craft this macrame wristband bracelet, whose adjustable length makes the accessory perfect for an adventurous day. The piece also displays an enchanting geometric design, which allows it to complement any ensemble with a bold touch.

Very nimble fingers take light sea blue resistant cords and weave them into this diamond design. On the different "waves," tiny pinewood beads float, creating a sense of motion. The bracelet is the creation of Carmina Giron of Guatemala, a small country with two big oceans.

The nimble hands of the Wakami cooperative of Guatemala weave blue and sea green beads into a classic bracelet, bound by two cords of leather used to form the button clasp. The beads are made of glass and reconstituted turquoise and woven into a kind of checkerboard pattern, with colours and sparkles reminiscent of the ocean.
